[edit] "Similarities to Budweiser" section

I'm restoring the section with a Simpsons Archive reference stating "Duff can be compared to the Anheuser-Busch Companies". I hope that clears up your OR objection. As for two of my points not making sense, we can try hashing those out here. Ribonucleic 21:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Duff McKagan

It is rumoured that Duff beer takes its name from Duff McKagan of Guns N Roses fame. Apparently Matt Groening reveals this on a DVD. Can anyone confirm or deny this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.50.143.20 (talk • contribs)

Which DVD? I haven't heard anything like that... -- Scorpion 15:09, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

The article also implies that the opposite might be true, but that would be incosistent with Duff beer being named as such in 1990, but Mckagan being credited with his nickname in the liner notes of 1987's Appetite For Destruction. Removing this line.--Tutsuro (talk) 23:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Duff is British Slang?

I live in England and have never heard the word other than when quoting The Simpsons. Anyone else?NIN 17:18, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I have corrected the meaning. Axl 18:34, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Duff is indeed British slang, occasionally expanded to 'a right plum duff'

It's usage is very similar to dud, the expanded version being more applied to a person as a simpleton. Or, according to google, a queer....plum duff=puff in cockney apparently.

[edit] Fudd

It is intentionally the "opposite" of Duff, with the consonant sounds being reversed, but with parallel spelling. Does anyone think this sentence is actually necessary?? i'm removing it ~ Bungalowbill 20:02, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not deleted

Okay that didn't go well for me :)

I'm sure there must be articles within the 600 and howevermany that don't belong but as I've already been accused of only doing this because I dislike the simpsons (and I don't dislike the simpsons, I literally just finished watching an episode) I think I'll concentrate my wikipedia time on other subjects.
